Lashed by downpours throughout January, much of France has been inundated with muddy water, which has seeped into homes and shops and halted trains on a busy commuter line that runs through Paris. The capital's suburbs haven't been spared either, with some residential streets in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges rendered inaccessible by the water. IMAGES
